Pretty decent car. Oil has been changed every 5,000km's since I've owned it (200,000kms). Engine has been reliable and have only had to change the supplementary systems as they have aged; fuel pump, water pump, alternator, etc.

It's the only T5 I've driven and I guess one word to describe it would be 'raw'. It doesn't really fit the luxury profile image of the Fairmont badge. Having driven it for 6 years I'm sort of immune to the gearbox quirks but friends that try comment that the clutch feels heavy - though not much difference than the T56 in the BA - and it's difficult to get into 3rd. Probably because it doesn't center to Neutral that well between shifts so you need to 'know' where 3rd is. I remember I had a bit of trouble when i first started but muscle memory takes over after a few weeks. Not really a great box for a beginner though.
